Who Is Lashana Lynch?
Lashana Lynch Is Taking Over the Big Screen — Get to Know Her Better

Lynch is jumping right from one iconic movie franchise to another. Although her exact role is still being kept tightly under wraps, we do know that she will appear in some capacity in the still-untitled Bond 25.
The announcement was made in Jamaica at the Goldeneye resort, near the spot where Ian Fleming created and wrote the original James Bond novels. For Lynch, the location was particularly meaningful: she's of Jamaican descent herself.
"It means everything to me to be here working," Lynch told Essence. "It's slightly bizarre because I normally come here to see family and sit on the beach and have a drink in my hand. But now I get to mesh the two worlds together and it is exciting."
